Michael Hardman Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Firstly what a good little boy Iam posting it in Chit Chat was tempted to put in in Vids and Pics but I resisted, anyway enough of me being a twat. Bought second hand off Trialsboy560 Ive made a few changed and theres a few more to come. Gold and black intended colour scheme, its looking nice and rides just as nicely. Spec is as follows Frame: Fit logic Forks: Eastern Headset: Gold Chris King (havent fitted it yet) Stem: Eastern Bar: Eastern Front wheel build: G-sport Homer in silver built onto a black Sun Big City rim Pagegs 2 Shadow Conspiracy mean pegs Brake: dirty harry lever with an anodized blue evolver brake and fibrax pads Cranks: profile cranks and 25t profile imperial sprocket in gold Pedals: dmr v8 pedals Chain: KMC Kool chain Rear Wheel build: Odyssey Hazard cassette hub with loads of different sized cogs in anodized red built onto a chrome Sun Big City Tyres: Maxxis Hookworms front and rear (havent fitted those yet Seat post: Snafu Outpost Seat: Demolition seat Bikes had a bit of a make over so progress report. Destickered it was relucant to do it but Im very pleased I did as it looks so much nicer, cleaner lines more flowing. Cut the seat post down Put on some gold dustcaps (sad me) Gold King headset arrived yesterday along with my new tyres and a chain tensioner but as Im at uni I cant fit them for another week Going to be buying a gold seat clamp well posssibly deciding whether there wil lbe too much gold a set of flush bolts for the cranks and some new profile bar ends in black. As for the ride it feels so damm nice been riding BMX for 2 days now and I can 180 bunny hop, grind partly still getitng the hang of that and manualing is alot easier. Overall its a world diffewrent to my trials bike yet the two complement each other so nicely that my learning progression should speed up quite considerably.

011001000110010101110010 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 throw away that front brake! Throw away that giro! If you dont, you'll find you just ride trials on it and do trials moves adapted to the bmx. You need to ride a bmx like a bmx if you know what i mean. Anyway, not meaning to argue. Micheal that bike is rather nice, how are you finding the rear brake with those fibrax pads? Are they the red ones? Mine are utter poo. Thanks, :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 lower that seat :S ← throw away that front brake! Throw away that giro!

The combination of lowering the seat and removing the giro make it much harder, and as almost the only trick I'm any good at on my BMX they mean a lot to me :) But I'm with derf on the front brake issue, it's cool for some moves, but there's so much to learn without it that it's not even worth the metal it's made from.

Olly C Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 On the seat issue, I'm trying to find a high where its most useful for me, I had put it on at a height I thought was alrite, then on 180's I was hitting my leg so lowered it right down, then me wanting to try and learn barspins and stuff I needed something for my legs to grip to to hold the bike right and I've got rather Phil-Like legs so the seats at that height. With the front break and gyro, I can see where your coming from with the trials moves but I don't feel comfortable riding without a front break, hence why I bought the thrillseeker with front chrome rim and a proper u-brake up front. The brakes are both pretty pants but they need time to bed in I suppose.. We'll see probably end up with an evolver and plaz combo and probably rear only setup but for now I see no real reason to take it off and my trials moves were fairly BMX'y hence why I got one so hopefully my BMX moves wont be too trialsy :- Olly.

Michael Hardman Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 The brakes wank Im going to puit the gold finger lever on when i get time. I even resorted to industrial strength spray on glue, but it worked too well until it wore off then it was ace no its all gone its poo poo.

Anyway, not meaning to argue.← Try telling that to Dave Osato. My BMX has a front brake and I don't ride trials on it. If I want to ride trials I get on my trials bike. There's no rule saying that you're only a proper BMX rider if you have no front brake. Go to bmxonline.com and watch the Front Brake Revolution video.

Dan Hardman Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 On brothers account cos Im at home and dont have my computer and Im lazy. The gold finger lever is the biggest piece of wank ever, going back to 2 fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Plaz pads and an Odyssey Slic cable. Cartridge v-brake pads (I'm assuming that's what are on there) are dodgy as the pads often rip themselves out of the holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I got some new Beringer bars for my Federal from the Bike Show, and didn't get a chance to cut 'em down from their mammoth width. I'd been riding with them and they felt shit, and I hated my bike... Cut an inch off each side last night, and oh my word, it feels awesome now. Just got so much more control (N) Learnt 360 tyre-taps just like "that" just now... Just feels so good! Really digging BMXing at the moment, mostly 'cos I don't have a trials bike at the moment (set to change in like... a few hours or so).
